Mission Statement

The Charles County Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee is organized to
provide a forum for issues pertaining to children with special education needs. Our members
advocate at the county, state, and national level to make recommendations and assist the
Charles County Public Schools about issues including the education budget, inclusion
assessments, support services, and other issues concerning children and special education and
related services.

The Division of Special Education/Early Intervention Services (DSE/EIS) has launched the inaugural issue of “Spotlight on Specialized Services.” Each issue of this newsletter, produced by the Collaborative Advisory Committee, focuses on one area of support needed for effective special education.

This issue is focused on secondary transition, and includes considerations and ideas to help young adults with disabilities transition smoothly and help them play an active role on their own transition team. The newsletter also highlights apps students can use to support their transition, as well as links to additional resources to help children of varying physical abilities.

SECAC will meet on Nov 21, 2017 at 6:30 pm at the Gwynn Center in La Plata. Glennis Daniels-Bacchus, ADA Coordinator from the College of Southern Maryland will speak to our group about CSM Disability Support Services.
